AbstractIn this report you will find five major theories that have been applied in Noor hospital. Thanks to the members of Noor hospital we were able to apply all the theories with their practices. The five types of theories are: * Porter’s competitive forces

As a group we would to thank all who supported us to complete this project. First we would like to show appreciation to Dr Salam Abdulla who provided us with all the processes to help us in this project and for all the explanation of the technical terms. As well we thank AL Noor Hospital for their support and cooperation. Methodology

The Method used in this project is the secondary data for the theory history and its importance. The primary data is an interview with the (Ismail Awdaat Database Admin). There were direct question used to ask about different six theories: five competitive forces, value chain, CRM, hierarchy, and virtual groups.

Al Noor Hospital background

Al Noor Hospital was established in 1985, it was located in Abu Dhabi the capital for United Arab of Emirates. From the day it was built it was well managed, and well using for the multinational and multicultural expertise. It achieved the extraordinary improvement in the health care field (Al Noor Hospital).

We interviewed Mr. Essam Awdaat Noor’s hospital Database administrator, and he was a very helpful Asset that provided us with the significant information regarding our research. He stated that Noor Hospital (Alain branch) technically doesn’t have competitors in the private hospitals domain but Oasis Hospital which is only different due to their Maternity department.

Porters Five Forces
To start talking about porters 5 forces For Al Noor Hospital here’s an introduction about them;

Threat of New EntrantsIs the chance for an opponent or another player to enter your market field or domain in any terms of business or information strategies. It somehow evaluates your constancy and position in the market and points out your slack ends in some issues. * In Noor hospital they do not suffer the threat of new entrants as there is no new private hospitals and clinics opening up in Alain. Bargaining Power of customers

Is the capability of buyers to steer your prices down or up by their switching ability to another similar products or services and the hassle they may cause your company in terms of charge rates and earnings. Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Is the force your suppliers can put on you by how far you need them and to what point you depending on them. Threat of Substitute ProductsIs the how easy customers can replace your product or service by altering their need either manually or according to their preferences. * Noor being a private hospital experiences a loss of patience due to expensive service as compared to public hospitals. Such as Tawam and Alain Hospital. Competitive Rivalry

Is in terms of the similar opponents that can offer what you are offering in different of advanced ways. Therefore, supplier’s dominance would increase and customers shift grows too. * The Advancement of technology in the public hospitals as well as the development of the OBGyn department in oasis hospital has created high competition in the health sector for the Noor hospital.

The advent of technology in the workplace has revolutionized the way the world does business. This is true with computers, which sets the stage for the technology globally. Global businesses can now be run by a single person, and a single computer can do the work of thousands. Large organizations have taken advantage of cutting-edge technology and developed powerful tools to help them harvest, analyze, and disseminate information, in order to make them more competitive. Human Resources, Marketing, and Accounting are just a few organizational departments running “smart” applications to run the business more smoothly.
According to Oracle (2009), the PeopleSoft application allows Human Resources (HR) to manage employees globally from a single system of record while complying with local laws and regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA. This is especially helpful to large enterprises with thousands of employees because their HR departments are usually spread around the globe, and eliminates wasted time trying to find information, and cuts cost between inter-departmental groups. PeopleSoft tracks all the information pertaining to each employee, such as their benefits, payroll, pension, and stock allowances. Since this information is stored in a...

...Management is important to our society. Scholars and observers from many disparate subjects, such as sociology, economics or management science agree that nowadays “knowledge” is at the centre of the stage. In support to that statement, researchers have identified one key ability that is common to all successful organizations: the effective creation of relevant business knowledge and the timely dissemination of that knowledge to those members of the organization who need it (Bowman, 2002).
Worldwide Chocolate Limited started out as a small chocolate bar manufacturer but knew a rapid expansion in a relatively small period of time.
My subsequent report will highlight the fact that only through the implementation of a Knowledge InformationSystem will WCL be able to preserve its core values: maintaining a high quality of product, continuous innovation and good customer service.
WCL needs to improve the communication between its various departments, it has to perfect its knowledge on the different sources of supply it uses and it also has to preserve its quick response to customer needs. The linchpin of all these changes is knowledge: WCL will have to leverage knowledge in order to gain a competitive advantage.

...difference between information technology and informationsystems? Describe some of the functions of informationsystems. In your answer include two examples of information technologies and two examples of informationsystems.
Information technology is the use of computer hardware, software and associated technologies to process data and achieve company’s business objectives. Some examples of information technologies include mobile computer devices such as PDAs as well as online banking software.
Information technology can be thought of essentially as a way of implementation and management of computer informationsystems.
Informationsystem is a computerized set of interrelated tools and procedures that collect and store data, and produce information. Main function of the informationsystem is transforming the data into meaningful information and as a result supporting the decision making process. An informationsystem can be for instance collecting employees’ personal details, bank account details and the amount of hours worked and turning it into monthly payroll and tax payments. Another example is paying bills online where the information about payment request such...

Businesses today use informationsystems to achieve six major objectives: operational excellence, new products, services, and business models, customer/supplier intimacy, improved decision making, competitive advantage, and day to day survival

From a technical perspective, an informationsystem collects, stores and distributes information from an organization’s environment and internal operations to support organizational functions and decision making, communication, coordination, control, analysis, and visualization. Informationsystems transform raw data into useful information through three basic activities: input, processing and output.
From a business perspective, an informationsystem provides a solution to a problem or challenge facing a firm and represents a combination of management, organization and technology elements. The management decision of...
